I was sooo grateful that today was drama free! Let me start at the beginning. You know how there are some days where you just feel heavy? Today was one of those days. Not that eating taffy for dinner was a factor or anything......
Anyway, I was worried that I would have a huge weight gain today. I was so grateful that it was only .6 of a pound! I was so tired this morning and I almost hit snooze and said forget weighing in. I'm proud of myself that I got my butt up and headed in. Going to the meetings really does help you be accountable. It was a good meeting. The discussion was about things you would recommend to a new member. The first thing was keep coming back after an event, a hard week, anything - just come back to your meeting. That was very helpful.
After the meeting, which ran long, I realized that I left my phone at home. I didn't really want to go back to get it, but because traffic is a bit crazy this weekend with the bay bridge closure. I thought I really needed it so back I went. I'm glad I stopped. It took me an additional 20 minutes, but it took me almost 90 minutes to get from my house to the golden gate. It normally takes about 20, so I was running a late for the party. Once I got to the bridge, things opened up and I made fairly good time. After the stop at Safeway to get the cake and some veggies, I made it to Larry's right at 11. So much for making in there early to help set up!
The reunion was nice. It was really nice to see my cousins (I think they are second cousins, but anyway...). After a quick toast of all the family events the grilling got started and we had burgers and hot dogs. There were also lots of salads to balance things out. We decided that we needed to do this more than once ever decade. Hopefully we can make this an annual event!
I was worried about meeting my brother's new fiancee. She was very nice and straight forward. I think I will like her as I get to know her more. That's where I thought the drama might be, so I was glad that there wasn't any!
I did fall off the wagon today. Someone made some homemade salsa with homegrown tomatoes. I can't tell you how good it was! Needless to say, chips were the delivery method. I had a hamburger with a bun as well as part of a hot dog. They were gourmet dogs so I had to try. I also didn't have breakfast so I was starving by the time we got to the food.
Where I'm feeling slightly guilty is the cake. Doughy food is my downfall. The cake was white with lemon filling and butter cream frosting. I had a small piece which wasn't to bad, but the cake was right in front of me and I picked off the bits of icing that was around the tray that didn't make it to the plates. It was so fresh and yummy. One of the other things that was mentioned was to forgive yourself and let things go.
So that's my plan for the rest of this week. I'm going to let today go and start fresh tomorrow.
Here's to a better week that's on track! Hopefully I can make it to the farmers market to get some fresh veggies for the week!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
